Overview

This FAQ will explain what to do with the drop downs in Shopify.


My Shopify store has drop downs for product information but eBay does not, can these drop downs be transferred to my eBay product template / description?


In short no, these drop downs are rendered within the Shopify store using markup unavailable to Omnivore and eBay. 


It is best to remove these in order to prevent "junk" information on your product description.


How to remove the drop downs

From Omnivore, Go to Settings->Feeds.


In Product description enter for example:


$detailedDescription -##[description]##- -##[collection-details]##- -##[specifications]##- -##[/description]##- -##[/collection-details]##- -##[/specifications]##-


Things to keep in mind

  • Product attributes are case sensitive so always enter as above e.g $brandName or $sku.
  • Product titles are a maximum of 80 characters. If what you enter is over 80 characters, it will default back to the original title and no changes are applied.
  • Use\ before $ if using a $ sign in your text for example if you want to add the text: Special Offer \$20 off for Autumn.
